It is said that Kirlin was sometimes three or four months back in his posting. Had Been Cautioned, He Says. Charles Ferguson, president of the bank and father-in-law of the dead man, said that it would not be known whether or not a shortage exists, but that he had cautioned Kirlin many times to be more careful In the administration of the bank's affairs. Customers of the bank, it is said, found it necessary to wait while KirHn sorted through piles of checks before they could find out how their account stood.
Kirlin breakfasted with his family at the usual hour and did not appear to be In a despondent mood, although
he lingered at the table longer than
usual. He departed after breakfast

He drove slowly home and entered the laundry kitchen in the usual way, depositing the laundry without attracting the attention of his wife, who was sewing In the living room. Shortly after K"riin left the house his wife heard a muffled shot at the garage and ran to the door of the building, calling meanwhile to the neighbors to come. She attempted to go up to the loft, but broke down, and
William Miller entered the loft first.

SEN. WALSH IS WINNER
(By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, July 1. A plank dealing with the League of Nations was adopted by the Democratic platform committee, early this morning. A long bitter fight so delayed the platform workers that the committee recessed until 10 o'clockLeaders hoped to have the platform
ready for the convention this afternoon. In the treaty battle the administration failed to secure adoption of its plank without amendment. The committee by a vote of 32 to 18 adopted an addition by Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, among those opposing the administration forces, providing for ratification of the treaty of Versailles with reservations consistent with American obligations.
Bryan's Is Thrown Out. The sub-planks of William J. Bryan and Senators Pomerene, of Ohio, and Walsh, of Montana, were thrown out. William Jennings Bryan's prohibition plank, around which today's fight in the platform committee is centering, reads as follows: "We heartily congratulate the Democratic party on its splendid leadership In the submission and ratifica
tion of the prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution, and we
pledge the party to the effective en
forcement of the Volstead act," earn
estly and in good faith, without any
increase in the alcoholic content of
permitted beverages and without any
weakening of any other of its provisions." Discussion of the treaty took up most of the session which began at 8
o'clock last night and ended with
recess at 3:30 this morning, when the committeemen were so fatigued that they ceased work without taking up the liquor, Irish or other controverted
questions. j The committee adopted , the Jabor and several other minor planks, now-" ever. As submitted to the committee the administration treaty plank according to authoritative statements provided: "We recommend ratification of the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations covenant without reservations which would impair its essential integrity.' But Clarity Is Favored. The words added by Senator Walsh's amendment were: "But we do not oppose reservations which make more clear or specific our obligations to the associated nations." The sub-planks of Mr. Bryan and Senators Walsh, of Montana and Pomerene, of Ohio, went down to defeat, it was said, wiTh but from 12 to 15 votes each. Chairman Carter Glass and other members refused to give out any information concerning any action by
the committee.
The labor plank adopted declared
against compulsory arbitration but de
plored strikes and lockouts, and advocated that some peaceable way be found to. settle industrial disputes.
Collective Bargaining Approved The committee also put its approv
al on a declaration for legislation which would permit collective bar
gaining by farmers. As reported by the sub-committee, the League of Nations plank followed
closely that adopted by the Virginia
Democrats. Senator Walsh, of Mon
tana, submitted a minority report and
led the fight against the Virginia pro
posal, which had the backing of
President Wilson.
In the debate, which loosed a flood of bitter feeling, Senator Walsh was
seconded by Mr. Bryan and Senator
Pomerene of Ohio, while the battle for the administration was led by Senator
Glass, of Virginia, the committee
chairman.
Senator Walsh's minority report pro
vided for a plank pledging the nom
inee of the convention and Democratic
senators to make such concessions as
might be necessary to secure ratification of the treaty. Compromise Is Wise
All of those who supported it told
the committee bluntly that hope of ratification without modification might as well be abandoned and that the
wise course was to compromise. Mr. Bryan and several others wanted modifications of the wording of the
Walsh plank and as the discussion raged throughout the night the hopes
of members that the question could be kept off the convention floor diminished. On the prohibition issue the subcommittee made no recommendation and a big grist of proposed wet and dry proposals were offered with Mr. Bryan leading the drys in a determined crusade to keep the party from making a wet declaration or remaining Bilent on the prohibition issue. Wilson's Is Irish Plank The Irish plank submitted by the subcommittee "reiterated in general terms. President Wilson's principle of self determination, expressed sympathy for the aspirations of the Irish people, and suggested that the Irish problem could be legitimately brought later before the league of nations. That is unsatisfactory to some of the committee members who are making a fight for a plank pledging the party to recognize the Irish republic. In his fight against the administration's league of nations plank, Senator Walsh declares that although he
had been for the treaty without reser-

LEAGUE FIGHT EXPECTED ON FLOOR TODAY Galleries Fill Early in Expectation of Battle Last Nominating Speech Slated for Davis Candidacy. TO NOffjATE GLASS (By Associated Prese SAN FRANCISCO. July 1. Galleries at the Democratic convention filled early for today's session in expectation of a showy light on the platform issue. The delegates came mora slowly and at 1 o'lock. the hour set for resuming, the floor and delegate spaces were as usual only partly filled with chatting members. The band, the organ and the singers as usual entertained the crowd while
things were waiting. Beside the speech placing Davis In nomination, it was announced Senator Glass would be placed in nomination by Representative Flood. As far as the convention officials had been advised today, that ended the list of nominating speeches and the next business was the platform. A suspension of the rules would be necessary if the convention were to proceed to baUoting before it passed on a platform. At 11.20 Chairman Robinson called the convention to order. Whole Delegations Out Whole sections in state space were occupied in some places In the halL Chairman Robinson had to resort vig orously whacking of the gavel. After sending the police through aisles to clear them, the chairman got the delegates seated while Bishop Nichols offered prayer. Then the organ pealed "The Star Spangled Banner," and chorus in strains of the majestic air. At the close of the singing Judge Murasky of San Francisco took a place in the speakers' stand, and resetted the Battle Hymn while the great! organ softly throbbed the melody of
the martial air.
The Judge recited the first stanza.
and then coming- to the chorus, turned
his eyes to a far gallery, -where a. clear toned soprano rang out the refrain. Then the audience joined and the auditorium was filled to the roof with song-. . -. - . . .
,At the conclusion of the tin gin t the Becretary o! the convention called th roll of states for nominating speeches. Second McAdoo Nomination New Mexico, first on call, seconded the nomination of McAdoo. It was the signal for a demonstration which started in the galleries and spread to the floor, but did not last long. North Carolina sent W. C. Newland of Lenoir, to the platform to place in nomination Senator Simmons, for whom North Carolina delegates are instructed. Mrs. Martha Nelson McCann, of California, made a seconding speech. North Dakota passed, and Oregon an nounced that the delegates had joined the movement to draft McAdoo. Glass Speech Is Made. Vermont passed, and Virginia sent Representative Flood to the platform to nominate Senator Glass. Describing Glass as the warm supporter and adviser of Woodrow' Wilson, Mr. Flood told the convention that Glass' home town, Lynchburg, was a monument to his ability. Mr. Flood reviewed the work of Glass In the house of representatives, the treasury department and finally in the senate, and ended by declaring he offered the party "the experience and capacity of a brave man whose democracy will never wane and whose patriotism will never be questioned." Cornwell Speaks for Davis Washington was called and passed and West Virginia sent Governor Cornwell to the platform to nominate John W. Davis.

SAY LONG'S MAIL WAS NOT OPENED IN WAR fBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 1. Formal denials were made today by the state and war departments of the statement of Professor Stanley I Rypins of the University of Minnesota, several days ago before the Cook county, Illinois, convention of the committee of 48, that he, while serving In the military intelligence division during the war had opened the mail of Breckenbridge Long, third assistant escretary of state.
